I want to acknowledge the amount of information and knowledge shared on this site. I don't post much, just research, but I really appreciate the teamwork shown on this site. Unity reminds me of the 24yrs I spent in the USA. "One team one fight"

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Welcome.

You are right, my build certainly is a team effort too.

Like your progress so far.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Great progress, what are your plans for the EFI wiring?

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Looks great you are making fast work of it.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Appreciate the encouragement. Hope to be up and running next month.

Notsolo- I had the original harness modified as a standalone, reprogramed the PROM, eliminated all emission no O2 sensors, removed VATS

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Looking good! Always loved how the TPIs look. I used to run one in mine, so feel free to reach out if you run into any issues. Though with your hands on, you're likely more informed than I am at this point :)

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

I just wanted to give an update on progress. New wiring harness complete CPP, 5 way tilt with sport wheel. Exhaust headers w/Jones Full Boar dumped at axle. Wheel and Tires US Mag U111 - 18x8 -18x9.5. Having problems with the paint color. Any ideas

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Celebrate it's 64 heritage with 529 Grey Green Metallic or 524 Copper Tone Metallic. Two 64 exclusive colors.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Thanks, I like both colors as I'm having a hard time to compliment the wheels on the truck.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Where did you get your 5 lug conversion for the rear end and was it simple to install? I'm debating on how to covert my rear end which is also a 64.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Pick a couple colors you like and ask for a Photoshop with your wheels. Truck is looking great BTW.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

The axle are from Yukon Gear and Axle. Length (30 -3/4). Simple to put in. Make sure you measure from tip of shaft to the flange to get a correct measurement. You can get them form CPP, Summit etc. any vendor.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Thanks for the compliment. I will do that. Should be finished with it to get inspected on Saturday. Then I will get good pics and post.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Thanks. Was yours 17 spline or 30 spline axles? I'm trying to see if I can change axles without changing spider gears to 30 spline.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Truck is coming together real nice.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

My axle is 30 spline. Think you will have to change the spider gears to match up. Someone chime in if I am wrong.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Thanks Palf70Step. You guys on this board keep me inspired.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Thanks HOP. I got the 17 spline. So I'll have to get the whole conversion kit with spider gears. I was trying to do it another way cause I can't find nobody to fill and drill the axles(even Moser wouldn't do it when I called). Truck is looking good and love the wheel choice.
Thanks

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Good Luck on the build and looking forward to the progress.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Hi Hop. Cool stepper! Those wheels look great.

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

Thanks JL. As promised a little update. Took the Ol'Gal out for her first test drive with the neighbors and their girls. 84 IROC , 72 Vette. She ran well had but lost power in 6th gear. Got home checked timing, 8 degrees retard go figure. Advance the timing 8 degrees before TDC and she was extremely happy :bann:. I 'll try and get a closer side shot to see if I can get a photo shop of different paint colors. I appreciate the assistance with this build form my neighbors. Solid guys. Not done, but this far in 10 mos. Need a break now. :mm:

The marks on the street don't belong to us........:lol:

Re: 64 Garage Build
 

The truck is coming along nice cousin.I can't wait until we cruise together brother.:metal:
